Chapter 401 Procrastination In Lin Tianming's cave, the newlyweds embraced each other.
They haven't seen each other for more than a year, and Qin Xi was a little embarrassed when the elders were present just now.
Now that she was back in her cave, she could no longer resist the longing in her heart. Her whole face was slightly red, and she curled up in Lin Tianming's arms motionless.
In her eyes, as long as Lin Tianming can return safely, it is more important than all the treasures of heaven and earth.
But she also understood that Lin Tianming had great ambitions and was not willing to be an ordinary monk. He always put his family first.
How can such a person be willing to be ordinary?
In fact, including her, before she met Lin Tianming, she also lived a life of licking blood for the sake of blood feud and survival.
Recalling that back then, he faced the enemy's pursuit and fell into crisis many times.
She had to try her best every time and faced enemies several times her own. After a life-and-death struggle, she was seriously injured in the end and managed to save her life.
Such a day was ten years ago! Thinking about it now, it's even vivid in my mind.
But since she met Lin Tianming, with him protecting her from the wind and rain, she gradually retreated behind the scenes, focusing only on practicing and trying to catch up with him as soon as possible.
Therefore, she didn't say much, and all her thoughts and worries were eliminated by this hug.
Lin Tianming also understood Qin Xi's worries, but for the sake of his family and his own path, he had to take some risks.
Only in this way can the family rise faster and the people he cares about can have a safe environment to practice with peace of mind.
And he himself can go further in his cultivation.
It can be said that whether it is for the family or for himself, he must go all out.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming also said nothing, but gently patted Qin Xi's beautiful back with both hands in a comforting gesture.
In this way, neither of them said anything, they just hugged each other for a long time and then separated.
At this time, Qin Xi's face was blushing. Lin Tianming took advantage of her when they hugged each other just now, which also made her tremble.
Lin Tianming was even more like this and almost couldn't hold it in anymore.
After all, he is also an adult man. Faced with his lovely wife in his arms, the body fragrance, the hot temperature, and the soft and delicate body arouse his sexual interest at all times.
If the two had not made an agreement long ago, they would not take a weekend break until the golden elixir period, and they had no intention of giving birth to an heir now.
Otherwise, if we continue, I am afraid that the gun may go off.
Fortunately, they were both sober and suppressed their inner restlessness at all times, so it did not develop further.
At this time, the separated two people sat opposite each other, and the throbbing in their hearts gradually calmed down.
Qin Xi looked at Lin Tianming's tired look and asked with concern: "Brother Ming, what are your plans next?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianming smiled calmly and then talked about his plan.
In his eyes, now that he has returned to his clan safely and his cultivation has been dormant for two years, it is time for him to practice hard.
It just so happened that this time I got a lot of spiritual fruits that improved my cultivation. Among them, there were several fruits with relatively good effects that could be used to practice in seclusion for several years.
In addition to the Huntian Pill that the family asked Ye Pinghai to help refine in the early years, with these treasures, there is no shortage of treasures for him to practice before he enters the Golden Pill stage.
Since this is the case, the focus should naturally be on cultivation.
As a result, Lin Tianming talked about his plan to stay in the clan in the next few years.
Once the cultivation level reaches the requirements to reach the Golden Core stage, and after Lin Shilu refines the defensive magic weapon, he can go all out and directly hit the Golden Core stage.
Qin Xi was naturally overjoyed when he heard Lin Tianming's plan.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming also asked about Qin Xi's plan.
After Qin Xi's explanation, she planned to join the Lin family's demon hunting team to practice for a year and a half. After her cultivation had settled down a bit, she would stay in the clan to practice in seclusion and improve her cultivation with the help of the spiritual fruits given by Lin Tianming.
After hearing this, Lin Tianming naturally would not object.
After all, Qin Xi's cultivation level has improved relatively quickly. In the past few years since the end of the war in Yuyao City, he has been practicing in the clan and has not had a good experience.
If this continues, it will not be conducive to the improvement of cultivation.
It just so happened that the family was planning to release some resources to attract the clan members to gain experience. She could also take this opportunity to contribute to the family and show her potential.
Although with Lin Tianming's current wealth and the status of the Lin family, there is no need for Qin Xi to take such risks, and a lot of resources can be allocated for her to practice.
But in order to go further on the road, you still have to go through the dangers.
Only after experiencing actual combat, her cultivation became more solid and her breakthrough became smoother.
It can be said that the benefits of joining the Lin family's demon hunting team are not just for her.
For the family, a tribesman who is at the top of the fourth level of foundation building joins the demon hunting team and is also a tribesman with extremely rich practical experience. The safety of the team members is greatly enhanced.
In addition, the chance of finding treasures during experience has also been greatly increased.
Therefore, it is a win-win situation for both of them.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming naturally would not stand in the way of this matter. Instead, he took out a lot of second-level attack talismans and some relatively good offensive and defensive treasures and gave them to Qin Xi, so that she could use them more in this monster hunting operation. strength.
Qin Xi would naturally not refuse Lin Tianming's kindness given their relationship as husband and wife.
With this treasure, her strength has become stronger. Even if she faces a late second-order monster alone, she can still fight.
In this way, after Qin Xi received a large amount of treasures, the couple chatted for a while before they separated.
After separation, Lin Tianming went directly to the room to rest, while Qin Xi went to prepare for the demon hunting operation.
……
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
In the early morning of this day, the sun shines through the clouds and shines on the high mountains.
At this time, the entire Lin family was prosperous, and a large number of clan members were traveling through the clan area, or gathering together, preparing to go to the depths of the Luoyun Mountains for training.
On the main peak of Qingzhu Mountain, in the guest reception hall.
Lin Shihua and Lin Shilu sat on high seats, and under them sat two foundation-building monks.
Looking around, one of them was wearing a golden robe with a scorching sun embroidered on their chest. They were obviously disciples of the True Yang Sect.
The other person is Xu Zhihua, an inner disciple of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. Both of them are also at the ninth level of foundation building.
At this time, Lin Shihua looked at the expressions of the two of them. Even though they had not exchanged a few words, he knew the purpose of Xu Zhihua's visit.
But even so, he still pretended to be nonchalant, and then asked.
"Two Taoist friends from your noble sect came to the humble residence today. Why do you know why?" Hearing this, Xu Zhihua from Wanyao Valley arched his hands towards Lin Shihua, who was in a high position, and then said calmly: "Clan Chief Lin, the two of us The first reason I came to visit today is to visit all the Taoist friends of the Lin family."
"Secondly, it's for the Jiuli Star Fruit and the reward from fellow Taoist Tianming!"
"Oh?"
Lin Shihua looked puzzled, and then asked: "I wonder how your sect will distribute this fruit? What rewards do you plan to give?"
After speaking, Lin Shihua looked at Xu Zhihua calmly, showing an expectant look.
Seeing this situation, Xu Zhihua did not intend to hide it, and immediately spoke to convey the decisions of the two sects' top leaders.
"Fellow Taoist Lin Tianming has made a lot of contributions in the secret realm this time. After discussions between the top leaders of our two sects, we decided to reward Taoist Lin Tianming [-] low-grade spiritual stones and three foundation-building pills!"
"As for the three Nine Glass Star Fruits that are still in the hands of Fellow Taoist Lin Tianming, they will be taken back to our two sects!"
Hearing this, Lin Shihua's face remained normal, but he was a little angry inside.
Thinking about Lin Tianming's great achievements in Tianfeng Secret Realm, it is no exaggeration to say that he saved the lives of two disciples.
But even so, they only rewarded some spiritual stones and a few foundation-building pills, and then wanted to send the Lin family away.
These things, for the current Lin family, have very average appeal, and cannot be compared with the Jiuli Star Fruit.
Obviously, the two sects believed that the Lin family was too weak and had no qualifications to bargain.
They simply don’t take the Lin family seriously!
Understanding this, Lin Shihua was a little angry in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged and he couldn't see anything strange.
At this time, Xu Zhihua saw that Lin Shihua and his wife had not spoken for a long time, and then continued to urge them.
"I think fellow Taoist Lin Tianming has returned to the clan and told the two fellow Taoists about this matter. I wonder if we can let fellow Taoist Tianming come out to meet each other so that we can settle the matter and return to the sect to resume our lives? "
"Ha ha……"
Lin Shihua's face remained normal, and he smiled calmly and said: "I do know about this matter, but unfortunately, the two Taoist friends came at the wrong time!"
"My great-nephew Lin Tianming has made some achievements in the secret realm. He is currently practicing in seclusion to reach a higher realm. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet him in a short time!"
"But it's not easy for two fellow Taoists to come here once. Why don't we just stay at Lin's house for a few days, just in time to wait for dawn."
"If he happens to be out of confinement, he can naturally come out to see him, and he will probably not keep the things that should be returned!"
"But if you haven't come out of seclusion, you two fellow Taoists might as well return to the sect first. After you come out of seclusion at dawn, I will definitely let him come to the door in person and return the Nine Glass Star Fruit with your own hands."
Knowing the purpose of Xu Zhihua's visit, Lin Shihua did not care about the rewards. Instead, he made up a reason to delay time according to the method they had discussed before.
They didn't plan to hand over the Nine Glass Star Fruit anyway, and the Lin family didn't care whether they were rewarded or not.
As expected, when they heard Lin Shihua's words, Xu Zhihua and Xu Zhihua looked embarrassed.
What Lin Shihua said was reasonable and well-founded. He did not directly reject them, nor did he say that the Lin family would not hand over the Jiuli Star Fruit.
In this way, they would not be able to put pressure on the Lin family, and they would not want to leave so easily.
After all, the current strength of the Lin family is not comparable to that of decades ago. Among them, Xu Zhihua had seen Lin Tianming's strength in the Tianfeng Secret Realm.
He knew very well that apart from the nearly ten foundation-building monks who had been exposed, the Lin family must have more than just these superficial powers.
Lin Shilu here is also at the ninth level of foundation building, and there is also Lin Shikang, who has long been famous in the southern part of Wei State. Coupled with Lin Tianming's killing style, the Lin family is definitely not an ordinary person.
Under such circumstances, even if the two of them break up and put pressure on the Lin family, they may not get any benefits. Instead, they will anger the Lin family and put them in danger.
But if they easily listened to Lin Shihua's statement and left the Lin family's land, it would be difficult for them to go back and communicate.
Speaking of which, this is really a dilemma.
"This this……"
In this way, no one from the three parties spoke, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a time.
At this time, Xu Zhihua was communicating with the Zhenyang Sect disciples on the side, discussing strategies to deal with the Lin family.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Zhihua and I seemed to have reached a conclusion after deliberation.
At this time, Xu Zhihua looked at Lin Shilu's gloomy expression, and then cupped his hands.
"Two fellow Taoists, since Fellow Taoist Tianming is inconvenient right now, the two of us will return to the sect first. After he comes out of seclusion, please bring the Jiuli Star Fruit to the Zhenyang Sect and return the things that belong to our two sects. !”
"As for the reward negotiated by our two sects, how about giving it to fellow Taoist Tianming when the time comes?"
After hearing this, Lin Shilu's face looked better when he saw Xu Zhihua and the two taking the initiative to give in.
In their hearts, those rewards for the Lin family were dispensable, and they didn't care at all.
As long as we can delay it for a few years, we have temporarily achieved our goal!
Understanding this, Lin Shihua also smiled, and then said that there was no problem, so that the two of them could rest assured.
"Well... I hope fellow Taoist Tianming will leave the seclusion and go to the Zhenyang Sect as soon as possible, so that the two of us can complete our tasks!"
After Xu Zhihua finished speaking, the Zhenyang Sect disciple on the other side also spoke in agreement.
"Yes... we can't delay this matter. Once the head of our sect is blamed, it will be difficult for the two of us to get along!"
"Haha... Don't worry, fellow Taoists, this matter will be reported to Tianming as soon as possible, and we will also arrange for him to visit us as soon as possible!"
Lin Shihua said swornly, with a very sincere expression, not as if he dared to offend two sects.
Seeing this, Xu Zhihua nodded with satisfaction, and seemed to believe that the Lin family did not dare to disobey the arrangements of the two sects.
Later, in order to make them feel more at ease, Lin Shihua quickly took out [-] low-grade spiritual stones and gave them [-] to Xu Zhihua and Xu Zhihua respectively, making a flattering move.
In his words, he also asked them to go back and help him deal with the situation.
Such a proactive display of weakness made Xu Zhihua and his wife even more satisfied.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shihua also entertained the two of them personally, and Xu Zhihua and Xu Zhihua temporarily left the Lin family's land after they had had enough wine and food.
Little did they know that Lin Shihua's thoughts and even the entire Lin family's decision-making were beyond their imagination.
As the two left, Lin Shihua and Lin Shilu also breathed a sigh of relief.
For now, they have been able to fool Xu Zhihua for the time being, but this is not a long-term solution.
At present, they only hope to delay for some more time, and even hope that the Golden Sword Sect can further put pressure on the two sects to give the Lin family more time to develop their strength.
As for the specific time, no one can say.
All in all, if the Lin family wants to achieve their goals, they must hurry up! (End of this chapter)
